American Oxford Thesaurus

aren't

aren't verb WORD NOTE aren't Which of the following is incorrect? a ) Aren't the Red Sox going to lose? b ) Aren't you clever? c ) Aren't I tall enough? . Turn the questions into statements. The Red Sox are (or aren't ) going to lose. You are (or aren't ) clever. But I am (or am not ) tall enough, so the question with contraction would be amn't I? and a better idea would be I'm tall enough, don't you think? JS Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
